[jira] Commented: (MSITE-420) Parent project site descriptor menu options always a link back to parent site

["Lukas Theussl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=249043#action_249043 ] 

Lukas Theussl commented on MSITE-420:
-------------------------------------

If you add a url to the child you also have to add one to the parent. You didn't specify any distributionManagement url, in this case the site plugin will automatically add the child artifactId to the effective deploy location, so the child will be one directory below the parent. However, relative links are calculated from the project url, so if your parent has <url>http://parent/</url> then your child needs <url>http://parent/child/</url>.

> I'd like to have a parent project define what items are in a given menu for all child projects and let the child projects define the contents of those links (this doesn't work).
> In the documentation for the site plugin here:
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/sitedescriptor.html
> There is a bit in there about how to get a parent project site descriptor to be inherited by a child project by using the following:
> <menu name="My Inherited Menu" inherit="top">
> This is great if you want the child project to always link back to the parent project's links/pages for each menu option.
> Doxia however shows this is configurable:
> http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools-1.0.x/doxia-decoration-model/decoration.html#class_menu
> inheritAsRef  - If this is a reference, setting true means that it will be populated in the project, whereas if it is false, it is populated in the parent and then inherited. The default value is false.
> This property currently doesn't work.
